The advance-framed 2x6 24-inch on-center walls are covered with netting then filled with R-23 blown fiberglass.
Image
The attic knee walls were constructed from 2x6s and insulated with R-19 batt, backed with 1 inch of XPS foam board with taped joints to provide a solid air barrier over the insulated surfaces.
Image
The attic kneewall and the open floor cavities under kneewall are both sealed and insulated in one step with spray foam insulation
Image
The back dam of the window sill will force water out
Image
The batt insulation shown here was properly installed to fill the ceiling cavities.
Image
The brick veneer lacked adequate ties to keep the brick from peeling off the wall in an earthquake.
Image
The builder in this very cold climate installed three layers of unfaced mineral wool batt in the double wall with a code-required vapor barrier between the middle and inner layers of wall insulation that is taped to barriers in the ceiling and floor.
Image
The builder leaves a half inch gap between the exterior and interior walls so drywall can be slid between the two.
Image
The builder staggers 2x4 studs on 2x6 top and bottom plates which provides gaps to fill in insulation around the framing for a continuous blanket of insulation.
Image
The builder was able to pack R-41 of blown fiberglass into the wall cavity formed by the double stud walls.
Image
The components of a framed wall include from inside to out: gypsum, wood studs, OSB or plywood sheathing, and siding.
Image
The cripple wall hiding the post-and-pier foundation of this wood framed house toppled when the house was shifted partially off its piers by an earthquake
Image
The cripple walls in this home gave way in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, causing the walls to partially collapse.
Image
The double walls form a 12-inch cavity that was sheathed with a coated OSB then coated with 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam; they will be filled with 9 inches of blown fiberglass.
Image
The double-wall construction results in thick window sills which builder market as an architectural feature.
Image
The energy-saving double wall construction uses two side-by-side stud walls, providing an extra-thick wall cavity that can be filled with more than twice as much insulation as a 2x6 wall.
Image
The exterior walls are double walls consisting of two 2x4 stud walls set 3 inches apart to form a 10-inch-thick wall cavity that is filled with blown-in fiberglass to provide a continuous R-40 blanket of insulation around the home.
Image
The floor cavities under this attic kneewall are completely open to the unconditioned attic space and a prime target for wind washing
Image
The flush cut method for seismic retrofit bracing of a cripple wall allows the plywood sheathing to be attached directly to both the cripple studs and the notched section of the mudsill
Image
The foam-filled concrete block walls are lined on the interior side with foil-faced rigid foam then topped with furring strips for attaching drywall.
Image
The Habitat affiliate makes its own “ICF” foundation walls with rigid foam held in place with wood spacers.
Image
The home’s first-floor walls are constructed of insulated precast concrete panels that are set in place on a gravel bed.
Image
The I-joist is continuous along the shared wall and serves as a natural air barrier between the garage and the house
Image
The ICF consists of foam forms that are held in place with plastic or metal spacers and reinforced with metal rebar
Image
Image
The Larsen-truss 9-inch wall cavities were covered with a smart vapor membrane that was fastened to the trusses with furring strips, which also provide an air gap behind the wood siding; each truss cavity is then filled with blown cellulose.
Image
The missing top plate in a kneewall was covered with lumber and rigid foam insulation and then sealed with spray foam
Image
Image
Image
Image
The OSB roof decking product comes with an adhered radiant foil barrier which helps to prevent heat transfer in or out of the vented attic, while R-13 unfaced fiberglass fills the advanced-framed 2x6 walls.
Image
The OSB sheathing is coated and taped at the seams to provide a weather-resistant barrier that can take the place of house wrap.
Image
The Perfect Wall includes water, air, thermal, and vapor layers with continuous insulation exterior of the sheathing to reduce the condensation potential in the wall.
Image
The reverse block method for seismic retrofit bracing of a cripple wall uses a 2x4 attached to the sill plate to provide a means to attach the plywood cripple wall sheathing to the sill plate
Image
The rim band connecting the insulated precast concrete basement walls to the floor joists above is spray foamed to provide air-sealing and insulation in this hard-to-seal juncture.
Image
The rim joists and top plates are air sealed and insulated with open-cell spray foam while the walls are filled with blown fiberglass.
Image
The sheathing has rotted because there was not a sufficient drainage gap behind the stucco cladding
Image
Image
The use of blown-in fiberglass insulation allows the double wall cavity to be filled in completely with no voids that could create cold spots in the walls.
Image
The wall behind the fireplace is an exterior wall and requires a thermal barrier that is continuous with the rest of the wall’s insulation
Image
The wall’s concrete blocks are filled with foam and covered with an interior continuous thermal blanket of rigid foam insulation.
Image
The walls and ceilings of this post-and-beam home are filled with netted blown fiberglass.
Image
The walls and floors of this modular home were constructed in a factory and are brought to the site already insulated and ready for quick assembly.
Image
Image
The walls of this mixed-humid location home are constructed with moisture-resistant steel-framed expanded polystyrene R-34 wall panels that are designed to withstand winds up to 200 mph and level D seismic forces.

The water-resistant barrier, weep screed, and stucco lathe are not properly layered
Image
The water-resistant barrier, weep screed, and stucco lathe are properly layered and will create a complete drainage system
Image
Image
The weep holes are spaced at the correct distance to provide a complete drainage system
